Overview
- The film, first launched at Cannes as Fail-Safe, has been retitled Skeletons and is being presented to buyers at the European Film Market in Berlin.
- JT Mollner is set to direct, with Brie Larson attached to star and J.J. Abrams producing via Bad Robot alongside Infrared and Assemble Media.
- FilmNation is handling international sales, while CAA Media Finance and WME Independent share domestic sales responsibilities.
- The project is described as a modern creature-horror told from a young boy’s perspective as he discovers a disturbing secret about his mother’s true nature.
- Brian Duffield wrote the screenplay based on Philip Fracassi’s short story Fail-Safe, and trade reporting indicates an expectation the feature will shoot before Mollner’s A24 Texas Chainsaw Massacre series.
